Hello Office for Mac Insiders,

We have released the first drop of a fully 64-bit version of Office 2016 for Mac to the Insider Fast channel! The update number is 15.25 (160630). I do encourage Insider Fast users to install this update and give it a test. We want to know about any problems you encounter as soon as possible, so that we can make sure we address them before the official release.

This is a huge update for Office and something that we have been working towards for a very long time. I’m thrilled to finally have it available for testing!

The Insider Fast channel is intended for early adopters and those wanting the earliest view into upcoming releases, and the 64-bit version will progress to the Insider Slow channels and to widespread publication over time. I can’t speak to a specific date for that wide release for you yet, so please send us your feedback as soon as you can.

To learn more about the move from 32-bit to 64-bit Office, including information about add-ins, see Mac Office and the Transition to 64-bit. For details about the Insider Fast program, including options for getting in touch or reporting bugs, see Announcing Office Insider Fast for Mac Insiders.

Thanks,

Schwieb

    Schwieb,

    Crash with Excel! Overtime I try to save ANY file, Excel just closes and I lose all the updates. Summarising, I am not able to work since I applied the build 15.25 - 160630.

    I had to grab an old windows machine to work on the spreadsheets.

    Any suggestions? Any help available?

    Thanks,

    Sergio

    Mine was in an pre-existing spreadsheet.  Did not happen in a new sheet as per your instructions.

    Now I have a cell in the spreadsheet which I can only type a value.  Any formula I type in gives me a #DIV/0, but if I put the same formula in the next door cell, it works fine.  Seems like it has corrupted the cell in the sheet somehow.

    Steve and Buntab1, I cannot reproduce this problem. Can you give us more precise repro steps so that we can try to debug the issue? Something like:

       1) Create a new Excel workbook

       2) Type "=RAND()" in cell B1

       3) Grab the fill handle and drag-fill B1 over to D1

       4) Grab the fill handle again and drag-fill B1:D1 down to B30:D30

       5) Type "=AVERAGE(B1:D1)" into cell A1

       6) Select the fill handle and drag-fill down to A30

    That's what I did, and I do not see any #DIV/0 errors. Please do help us track this down.

    Am also getting this random #DIV/0!

    happens randomly. In one cell I have a simple =AL7 and it gives me #DIV/0! and in the cell above, I put the exact same formula and it gives me the contents of cell AL7

    No fill down or similar done. Does the same even if the referred cell is just a number rather than formula.

    Something pretty wrong...
